Hungry travelers in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland can choose between smokey barbecue ribs from a Kaadu beast found on Naboo, a deep fried Tip-Yip bird from Endor or space meat cooked over a podracing engine — all topped off with a cold glass of Blue Milk.

Five locations will serve 14 food items and 31 drinks in the Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, the 14-acre “Star Wars” land under construction in Anaheim. Each of the restaurants and food stalls in Galaxy’s Edge will have an extensive backstory and proprietor from the “Star Wars” universe.

Members of Disney’s culinary team took inspiration from the creatures and plants found in the “Star Wars” universe as they prepared a menu of familiar Earth-based foods like pork ribs, fried chicken, spicy sausage and non-dairy milk for the Galaxy’s Edge themed lands coming to Anaheim and Florida.

“We know that we are stuck with serving food within our planet, but we had to think about it differently,” said Brian Piasecki, Disney World culinary director for concept development. “We had to think about some of those flavors of Morocco and those flavors of Asia because of that ying and yang, that sweet and that spicy. It all became very important in the development of the story.”

Many of the otherworldly dishes served in Galaxy’s Edge will look like one thing and taste like another, Piasecki said. Each dish will have a “Star Wars” name and a description of its Earth-bound ingredients.

Disney unveiled the food and beverage lineup for the new themed land during a media event at Disneyland.

Here’s a round-up of the menu items coming to Galaxy’s Edge.

DOCKING BAY 7 FOOD AND CARGO

Docking Bay 7 will be run by Strono “Cookie” Tuggs, a surly, disfigured cook at the castle of pirate Maz Kanata before it was destroyed by the First Order in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

Cookie has been promoted to chef at the Galaxy’s Edge quick-service restaurant, which is one of the regular intergalactic stops for his food truck-like Tuggs Grub space freighter ship. Cookie’s Sienar-Chall Utilipede-Transport tug ship will be docked on top of the Black Spire restaurant.

“The flavors in Galaxy’s Edge and Docking Bay 7 are going to be very bold, a lot of spice forward,” Piasecki said.

Fried Endorian Tip-Yip: Fried chicken tenders with carrots, peas and dairy-free mashed potatoes. “Cookie can sometimes be a little sloppy,” Piasecki said. “So the carrots and the peas, those classic ingredients you get with fried chicken, he just mixes them right in with the mashed potatoes.”

Felucian Garden Spread: Plant-based meatballs with herb hummus and grilled pita bread. “It looks like a meatball. It tastes like a meatball. But it is not,” Piasecki said. “It’s actually made with the Impossible product.”

Yobshrimp Noodle Salad: Shrimp with arrowroot noodles and a Thai chili paste vinaigrette. “It is a noodle that you’ve probably never seen before,” Piasecki said. “It’s gray, almost blackish. It almost looks like squid ink, but it’s all natural.”

The best-known drink in the “Star Wars” galaxy will be served in Black Spire Outpost by the Bubo Wamba family farm.

The Milk Stand will serve both the Blue Milk first seen in the original “Star Wars” movie and the Green Milk introduced in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”

The non-dairy plant-based milk served in Galaxy’s Edge will be similar to a soy, almond, coconut or rice milk. The frozen beverage served at the Milk Stand will be similar to a smoothie or a milkshake.
